Townhall tackles Urban Aboriginal Strategy
12.10.12
Townhall tackles Urban Aboriginal Strategy: Glenn Wheeler, Vice-President (Policy) - About 50 people joined the circle as the Aboriginal Peoples’ Commission hosted a town hall on urban Aboriginal issues.
Often an after-thought when it comes to policy making, urban issues are becoming ever more crucial with more and more Aboriginal people leaving their home communities and moving to larger centres.
Among First Nations people, for example, more people live off-reserve than on.
The APC session took an urban lens to the policy questions facing Canada – the role of cultural promotion in breaking down barriers, the need for transition services for those moving to cities, divisions between Aboriginal people ourselves and the importance of building community (psychologically and physically).
